To all whom Iimag oaf/wem: l

Be it known lthat I, JOHN L. DULIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Noblesville, in the county of Hamilton and- State of Indiana, have invented ce1- tain new and useful Improvements in Account-Registers, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to improvements in account registers wherein copies of each purchase by a customer are tiled in their order on the appropriate sheet of a series of indexed sheets which ere mounted on hinges in a suitable cabinet.

r he object of my invention is to provide sheets for holding accountslips und means for uniting or binding a plurality of said sheets together in books and 'for removably securing'tlie books in a. suitable case or cabi net whereby the series ot sheets 'forming' each boolt may he quickly md easily re moved is ay whole from the cabinet and placed in ai salie or in some more secure depository than the cabinet over night, tlnndays, and holidays.

lhe (allient 'nrtlm' is to ieep the sheets et each hooi; intact durine removal from The oabine; in order to pr 'ent their disvriengenerot.,

ie the l i f, y, estimen.,

nee indicate lil ot the vo gno nt thus formed, and to be folded hack into the position shown in Fig. 2 to allow access to the interior of the cabinet. A false back 12 parallel with back 7 and in front 'of it to provide a' housing for the slatted curtain 6o when the cabinet is open, is provided.I This false back terminates with a forwiirdly extended top 13 having an under side middie recess 14 for the purpose presentlyvto be described; I y 65 15 are metal sheets or leaves having invoice-ling devices. The sheets have their inner edges bent around a wire 16, the ends of which wireproject at top and bottom beyond the limits o'l the sheet, and are to 70 enter holes in horizontal bars 17 andv 18, and are lthe hinges about which the leaves may be turned. The bers 17 and 18 are spaced apart and are held in exact rigid relation to each other by a pair of vertical rods 19. The lower threaded ends of the rods 1D are screwed into corresponding threaded holes in the lower har 18, and the upper threaded ends ot' the rods being lirst provided 'with nuts El() which are screwed down lo an exactdistance from the bnr i8., are inserted through holes in the upper har '17 and are then seourely fastened by nuts 2l on' the proiecting ends ot the rods above thebar 17. This forms a rigid frame which is put together as above described after the leaves otg the book1 thus formed have been assembled by inserting the ends of their hars 17 and 18. l`he number o'l'books thus 90 formed wliicl'i are reiluired for each cahiwill depend upon the number of ac.- oonnts to he handled. The' drawing showsg. two books whiol: is the number most coinl monly required. "lfhese :fre assembled in the Cabinet by i1., erting the top ber '17 o alsook tremo under, and then by an upward "movement, into th recess lll in the top 13. ltwill he heid against withdrawal byA the 4iront wall of the recess as shown in Fig. 100

El, and to better keep it in position, stops 23 are provided in the table top 6, which project up in the path of the lower bar 18 and prevent the bar 18 from assuming' a position directly under the bar 17. rlhe weight. olf the metal sheets or leaves 15 hold the, bar 18 firmly against the stops 23 and press the liar 'i7 eoustanilv against the frontwall oit recess lll. The books as above constituted can thus he quickly lifted out of lvided on each side vwith an `are projected to receive an their positions in thei'cabinet when it isdesired to remove them to a place of safe.

keeping,. and they may be as easily and quickly replaced. The sheets are prole-bars which support spring- Wire clamps 26, bent as shown, under which the invoice slips 27 are inserted and are held by the clamps. The top,

count in its alphabetical order. driven in the top 13 oppositev bottom and front edges of the sheet are rolled to stiifen them and index clips 28 are attached to each leaf to direct the user to the desiredacthe ends of the recess 14 indicate the location of the recess in placing the books.

. Having thus fully'described my invention vwhat I. claim as new and wish to secure by 1. In an account register, a book comprising a plurality of metal sheets having means i for temporarily holding account slips, wires bound in the inner edges of said sheets the ends of said Wires projecting beyond the sheets, a rectangular frame comprising top fand bottom bars Wit-h sockets which receive the projecting wire ends whereby the lsheets are hinged to the frame the said fra-me bind- .ing the sheets together into a book which is readily transportable as 'a whole andineans for adjusting the distance between said bars and -for removing the upper bar.

2. In an account register, a bookcompris ing a plurality of metal sheets having means for temporarily holding account slips, Wires bound in the inner edges of said sheets the ends of the wires projecting beyond the A sheets and a frame comprising a pair of horizontal bars having sockets to receive the projecting Wire ends, and vertical rods connecting the bars and holding them iniiXed relation to each other.

3.1In an 'account register, a cabinet having paitop member with an' underside recess `in fco'mb'ination with o-ne or more books each i comprising a pair of horizontal bars, vervtical rods seated in one bar and having threaded-ends passing through the other bar, nuts on-said .threaded-ends between Tacks 30 which Said bar is haitiana a plurality of sheets having meansfor temporarily holdring account sli s hinged to said frame, the top member ofp a frame when the frame is assembled with the cabinet being inserted in the recess in said top member of the cabinet.

4, In an account register, a cabinet having a tableJ/top and a top member above said table-top having frame holding stops in combination with one or more books each comprising a pair of vhorizontal bars, vertical rods seated in one bar and having threaded-I ends passing through the other bar, nuts on said threaded-ends between ywhich saidbar is held .and' a plurality of sheets having means for temporarily holding account slips hinged to said frame, the top member, of a frame when the frame is assembled with the cabinetbeing held by said frame holding means inthe to-p member of the cabinetand the lower frame member being held bythe ,4

frame holding stop of the table-top of the' cabinet. 5. In an account register, a cabinet having a table-top land a top member above said table-top having an underside recess, saidv table-top havingframe holding stops, in combination with one or more books each comprising a pair of horizontalbars and rods rigidly connecting said bars, and a plurality of sheets having means for tempo-v rarily holding account slips hinged to said frame, the top bar of said frame when the latteris assembled with the cabinet being inserted in the recess in the top member of the cabinet and the lower' bar of the frame bearing against the stops of said tabletop,l
